College phone booth stunt just like old times
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MORAGA, Calif. - Twenty-two students at St. Mary's College of California have done something their predecessors famously did 50 years ago: crammed into a phone booth.
Teams competed to fit as many bodies as possible into a phone booth on the campus green Wednesday, a half-century after Life magazine published a now-famous photograph of 22 St. Mary's students stuffed into a phone booth, a popular college stunt in the 1950s.
Current students matched the number in the 1959 image, though they failed to break the campus record of 24 set in 1984.
St. Mary's officials say a South African team set the world record of 25 in 1958.
This reminds me of the time Mac 10 and Mr. Cox use a phone booth naked during the scavenger hunt. Classic humor. It's good to see that some gags never get old. Like April Fools jokes or when we called Tommy a 'master debater'. There's no shelf life on goofs that good.
PS- We really should have tried this gag in the Superman booth at the UD. I wonder if anyone ever banged in there.
